President’s Corner

Colleagues,

Our next major events are coming up soon. Our Chapter will once again host the 9th Annual Regional Technology & Cybersecurity Day at Ft Carson on Wednesday, June 6, and at Peterson AFB on Thursday, June 7, 2018. The theme for both events this year is “Prepare for the Cyber Future: IT Modernization, Cloud, & Cybersecurity”. Government and Industry experts will be on hand to brief attendees on the latest trends, best practices, and remediation strategies in cybersecurity. These one day forums will offer Cybersecurity & Information Technology personnel a unique opportunity to get up-to-date information on rapidly evolving security challenges. There will also be an exhibit hall held in conjunction with the educational briefs. All companies with cybersecurity and emerging information technology products, services and capabilities are invited to participate. Additional info for these events can be found on our Chapter website under Upcoming Events on the home page (https://issa-cos.org/).

Also, please note that our lunch meeting this month will be held at the Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) facility located at 305 South Rockrimmon Blvd. The dinner meeting will be at the Disabled American Veterans facility at 6880 Palmer Park Blvd. Additional info will be on our website and in emails soon.

Our May Mini-Seminar will be on Saturday, May 19th, at College America. Additional info will be posted to our website and in emails soon.

Planning is already in progress for these events, and we could use your help. If you’re interested in helping with these events, or any other event, please let me know (president@issa-cos.org).

We still have a few vacant Board Officer Positions: Deputy Recorder, Deputy Treasurer, Deputy Communications, and Director of Professional Outreach. Job descriptions for these positions can be found on our website, under “NEWS”, in the “Members (Restricted)” area. You’ll need to log into our website to access this area. If you’re interested in any of these positions, or would like additional information, please let me know (president@issa-cos.org).

We also could use some help organizing our Mini-Seminars. Mini-Seminars are held on a Saturday morning, from 9am to noon, about seven to eight times each year. We’d like to have one more person join our team of organizers to help organize one or two Mini-Seminars. You’ll receive three CEUs/CPEs for every mini-seminar you organize and attend. If you’re interested in joining our team of organizers for training events, please let me or our Training leads (training@issa-cos.org) know.
